What are the origins of these visual shorthands?

Look at the bottom panel of [1]. Several pieces of visual shorthand are used - for example, the bubbles represent that the character is poisoned, while the crossed eyes show that the various guards are dead. But these certainly do not look like obvious symbols to use.

What is the origin of these agreed on representations? How universal are they? How come everyone knows them?--Fangz (talk) 00:04, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This link works for me. Algebraist 00:10, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, gotta love Order of the Stick. The crossed eyes I have no idea about but believe they probably originated in old cartoons or comics. As for the bubbles, they've been seen in RPGs for a few years now and are pretty much a staple, along with green glowing. Avnas Ishtaroth _{drop me a line} 01:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article on The Lexicon of Comicana might be interesting. As to the origins of the symbols, I think it's pretty clear that in each case some cartoonist invented the thing and others decided it was a good idea and copied it. --Anonymous, 03:50 UTC, September 18, 2008.

When I see bubbles, I think of them being drunk, not poisoned. --70.167.58.6 (talk) 21:57, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, y'know, alcohol is a poison. To me the bubbles mean she's woozy, whether from poison, concussion or some other cause. —Tamfang (talk) 07:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Soccer?) football quote

I remember a football quote from somewhere, something like "Good strikeforces win games, but good defences win titles". Anyone know the exact quote and who said it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.13.1 (talk) 07:27, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a section title. Since you used the spelling "defences" and the term "striker" is used in soccer, I'm guessing that by "football" you meant soccer rather than American football. See football (word). --Anonymous, 09:12 UTC, September 12, 2008.

I'll note that football also has "offenses win games, defenses win championships", so it's likely a shared sentiment. — Lomn 15:43, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comparing quotes

At the beginning of The Fog, Mr. Machen is telling a ghost story to some children, including Andy Wayne. Towards the end of the film, Stevie Wayne is describing the horrific night. In The Fog (2005 film), does Mr. Machen tell a different story? And how does Stevie Wayne describe the horrific night before? Are the quotes different? Can they be compared?72.229.139.13 (talk) 08:14, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Song in a bunch of commercials

There is a song that is used in a bunch of commercials lately, which has no lyrics, just music. In Canada, at least, it was used in advertisements for the Sarah Silverman Show, and lately it is also being used in the Nestea commercial where the guy is walking around and water shoots up everywhere he steps. I have also heard it in some other American commercial but I can't remember which one at the moment. I want to say it sounds like "Jewish music", whatever that might mean (possibly because I am associating it with Sarah Silverman?). Is that enough to work with? Does anyone know what that song is? Adam Bishop (talk) 13:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the ads in question, but you might want to check adtunes.com or whatsthatcalled.com --LarryMac | Talk 13:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I checked those already. Adam Bishop (talk) 13:19, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very much random guess but Sigur Ros and Hoppipola was - for a period - used in a million and one adverts/tv trailers/documentary trailers in the Uk. It's not (as an actual song) entirely instrumental but the instrumental part was used in the adverts. I guess it could sound jewish-esque, though they're Icelandic if I remember correctly. 194.221.133.226 (talk) 14:59, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it would be them...I'm not great at identifying instruments but it sounds like there is a clarinet playing the melody, and a tuba in the background, if that helps. Adam Bishop (talk) 01:09, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the Nestea ad you mean, I don't know what the song is, but maybe it will help someone else identify it. (Youtube link to Nestea: Fountain ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylNb-oUVvlQ) Crypticfirefly (talk) 01:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

cars used in "the saint" films

Hi, Could any one please help me. I'm trying to find out what make and model of car George Sanders drove in the Saint films he starred in. All I can find listed is from the Volvo P1800 that Roger Moore used and onwards from there. Many Thanks Popebenny (talk) 14:08, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be one of these: [2] Fribbler (talk) 14:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flying boat movie

Can anybody please remind me of the name of a black & white film in which there is a flying boat which contains a corridor and several side cabins - as in an old railway carriage. It might have had two decks and I think it had a common area like a drawing room. It might also have had an exterior walkway. Kittybrewster ☎ 14:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Such flying boats did exist: in fact were quite common at one time (though I don't think there was an exterior walk way in any real ones - the air is pretty cold at high altitude). See flying boat and Short Empire as an example. There might well have been many movies featuring them. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One is reminded of W. C. Fields's Never Give a Sucker an Even Break, in which the plane has sleeping berths like a train and an open-air observation deck, from which Fields's bottle of hooch falls. No exterior walkway, though. Deor (talk) 20:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One of the IMDb comments for Non-Stop New York (1937) mentions a "double-decker airplane with an outside deck(!)". Another states that it is a flying boat. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is the one. Many thanks. Kittybrewster ☎ 14:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kidds TV Show

As a kid I used to watch a show, the basic premis was that a few people floated around in a hot air baloon type contraption. they often used the suffix -undo as in, is the sky blue? Corectomundo. they were not people but rather michelin tyre guy looking pink things. it was a cartoon, animated, but had a continuous storyline. any quesses?

Thn there was one more, about a boy in maybe Holland that travelled around with a St. Bernard dog that he had rescued from animal cruelty, the dog pulled a wagon of sorts. At one point the boy was mute, but it turned out that this was phsycosymatic, and he subsequintly regained his speach. He was blond. I watched both of these around the same time in South Africa. I think this one was dubbed from its native language into either english or Afrikaans. Any ideas? Thanks People. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.115.175.247 (talk) 15:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This calls for a link to dog cart and its featured image. I've always associated those with Belgium though. See also A Dog of Flanders story. Rmhermen (talk) 23:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cartoon movie with a snake and his adventures through the world...

Last night I was at the First Avenue in Minneapolis (Ratatat concert) and before each concert they play random movies on the screens as people wait. There was this movie that seemed oddly familiar... this green snake eats some apples and offers this forbidden fruit to adam and eve and eventually he's watching a bunch of TVs and they offer him sex and drugs and whatever and he gets all dizzy and overwhelmed... it was quite trippy. Dunno where I've seen it either. Also completely unrelated, what's that album where the cover art is a black & white photo taken underwater of a girl in a dress who is mostly submerged except for her face? Thanks a lot, media wizards! NIRVANA2764 (talk) 19:10, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about Loony Tunes cartoons as food?

Did anyone, at the time they were made, find it a little gross that characters like Bugs Bunny could be chased down to become food on occasion, while exhibiting human characteristics of talking, walking, etc.? I'll admit, maybe it's me, but I always found it rather grotesque to have Bugs in a pot cracking jokes with Wile E. Coyote ("I'd stay for lunch, but I'm kind of tied up right now.") I mean, he's still...hmmm, anthropomorphic I guess. I know I wouldn't dream of cooking and eating something that was talking to me! (And it never seems to bother people trying to get Daffy Duck.) Or, didn't anyone ever have probmes with the concept? Maybe most people who are neurotypical can see the cartoons and never bat an eye; I guess it's the talking and walking like people aspect that makes me turn away. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.187.155 (talk) 23:40, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whats this song?

I heard this song on the radio today and one of the lyrics I remember was something like "can we be crazy for a few more years". It was a male voice and didn't sound like an old song. What is it? --124.254.77.148 (talk) 05:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Rooks" by Shearwater

Anyone understands what the song is about? I don't get it... --Dr Dima (talk) 03:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW I found a couple of versions of the song on YouTube, here. Thanks in advance. --Dr Dima (talk) 07:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By 'rook' they're talking about the bird, not the chess piece. I didn't work to untangle every metaphor, but it pretty much seems like it's about how mankind is encroaching on the birds, and this is probably a synecdoche meant to extend to all of nature. The birds (nature) are waiting for mankind to fall (become extinct or at least much less of a burden) so that things can be back to how they used to be in the good ol' days before they got killed by flying into our laundry or buildings or just because we want to eat them. - Lamba jan 21:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your interpretation makes sense. Thanks! Now that I have read your reply, I see that there is actually a really nice conflation or double allusion in the song: "the falconer awakes to the sound of the bells. Overhead and southbound they are leaving his life" - southbound as migration and southbound as death (see Guardian of the South). Very nice. Thanks again! --Dr Dima (talk) 06:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Playing PS1/PS2 games on PS3

I am considering getting a PS3 soon. But when I read the PS3 article, it says here that the newer models in production can only play old games with emulation software. What does that mean? Do I have to use a boot disc? Does it come with this software? Also, are the older out-of-production systems that play PS1/PS2 games without the required emulation software rare? As in, can I find them used easily from places like Game Stop or EBay without having to pay a premium? --Endless dan and his problem 13:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone will certainly clarify for you but the emulation software should be available through Sony's online interface (Sony Home?). There won't be a boot-disc, it'll be entirely hard-drive based emulation with your PS1/PS2 game in the disc-drive. 194.221.133.226 (talk) 13:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just so I'm straight, with the newer model PS3s, I just put in the PS1/PS2 game and the appropriate emulator will be downloaded? --Endless dan and his problem 14:15, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The emulator is in the PS3 when you purchase it. You just put in your old game and hope that the programmers didn't do anything outside of Sony's rules of proper programming. If they did, the game may not work properly. Of course, everyone will blame Sony for the game's failure, not the programmers who failed to write their program correctly. A problem you may have is that the PS3 does not have any of those memory card ports. If you want to load saved games off your PS2 memory cards, you have to buy a USB adapter for them. -- kainaw ™ 12:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have one of the PS3's with software emulation. You just pop in the disk and it goes. The only game I own that doesn't work with it is "Gitaroo Man".

Be sure to check the Ps3#Retail_configurations chart before you buy. Some PS3s don't have any backwards computability at all.

(As an aside, most add-on hardware like the PS2 Guitar Hero controller will not work with the PS3.) APL (talk) 13:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MINOR COUNTIES CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP STATISTICS

Whowever writes about the Minor Counties of English Cricket for Wikipedia clearly has access to the final tables for each Minor Counties Championship season, 1895 onwards.

I have been trying to get hold of these for years. I have been told that the only way to find them is to go through every copy of Wisden from then till now, but I am overseas and therefore cannot visit a county club to do this.

Does anyone have these tables? If so can they make them available to me or the public?

CricketArchive has a record of all of them, I think. If you search (in your browser, hit ctrl + f or your equivalent) on this page for "Minor counties championship" (without the "s, obviously) it has the results of every single season (with gaps for the two world wars) back to 1895. Not all of them have points tables or statistics, but these pages are present from the 1910 season onwards, which I hope should be good enough.

1980s water wave machines?

Does anyone remember those late 70s/early 80s wave machines? It was blue oil and clear water in a long (12"?) narrow (2"?) rectangular lucite box which sat on a slowly rocking mechanism.

This is frustrating. I know a lot of famous album covers, but I don't recognise this one from the description. If it's taken underwater, and the girl's face is not submerged, then presumably that means her face is not shown? It doesn't sound like the Cave/Kylie, anyway. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 15:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right, her face is not being shown. All of her body except for her face is underwater, so you can't see her face in the pic. Just most of her body underwater. It's a pretty eerie image. Almost as eerie as the thought of Nick Cave collaborating With Kylie Minogue (which sadly is not the album I'm thinking of) NIRVANA2764 (talk) 16:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NCAAF rule loophole

I vaguely remember watching a college football game last year that went to overtime (alternating possession). The offense threw an interception, and the defense (prior to INT) was running back the ball for a game-ending touchdown, but the player was brought down by his facemask. The referee threw the flag, but if I remember correctly, the penalty could not be assessed. All that happened was the drive was over and the (once) defense gained possession of the ball at the 25th yard line. Is this a rule loophole? I imagine it's not a big deal with the NCAA rules committee because it's such an uncommon circumstance, but is it true that after an INT in overtime, the (once) offense can commit any foul to bring down the player who made the INT without a penalty? Thanks!--El aprendelenguas (talk) 22:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to NCAA rules "Distance penalties against either team are declined by rule in extra periods (Exceptions: Penalties for flagrant personal fouls, dead-ball fouls and live-ball fouls treated as dead-ball fouls are enforced on the succeeding play)" (source, page 66). The question remains whether facemask penalties are live-ball fouls that are treated as dead-ball fouls. I cannot find a good source for that issue in that document but surely it is there. Assuming they aren't treated as dead-ball fouls then that is an interesting loophole.--droptone (talk) 11:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was last year's Tennessee-Kentucky game, and as a UT fan, I was incensed -- and as somebody who gripes about bad rules anyway, only slightly less incensed. In this case it went above and beyond the rules loophole laid out above, though -- the foul occured at the end of the second possession of an OT period. Note that the rulebook fails to even address such a situation in their Examples, all of which are concerned with the first OT possession. Because the foul ended an entire overtime period, the whole thing was wiped. What really irks me is that the correct solution is arbitrarily closed by the very rule that ought to fix it (Rule 3, Section 2, Article 3 on p. 67): "A period shall be extended until a down (other than a try), free from live-ball fouls not penalized as dead-ball fouls, has been played." 3-2-3's normal provision is that the game can't end on a defensive penalty (as was the case here); rather, the offense is awarded an untimed down -- which, with the 15 yards from the penalty, would have put Tennessee in field goal range. However, the above rule notes that such a penalty is "declined" (rather than "not enforced") and 3-2-3 requires that the triggering penalty be "accepted" (rather than "called" or some other neutral language). The requirements between the two rules are written sufficiently that droptone's question of how live-ball fouls are treated is irrelevant: if treated live, they must be declined (and so do not trigger the provisions of 3-2-3) and if treated dead, they don't apply to 3-2-3 to begin with. — Lomn 13:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You might do better to ask this on the science desk, but (to my surprise) yes, “Wood frogs can freeze solid, and they’ve been seen as far north as the south slope of the Brooks Range,” according to this.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 11:00, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It's alright"

Does anyone know the name of a song which has the hook "it's alright" ? The last syllable has an upward inflection . The singer sounds a bit like Bob Dylan , a quite rough voice . Cheers . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.198.130 (talk) 19:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
